| David ben Gurion founded a flawed state |
Every
year, on Independence Day's eve, Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics
publishes its yearly statistics. In 2014, it claimed that by the end of
the previous year, Israel had almost 8,2 million inhabitants. 75% Were
reported Jews and over 20% Arabs.
|
The data is misleading. Israel counts the Jewish
population in the West Bank as its own while it does not count the
Palestinian population there.
If not ignoring reality, then between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, Jews and Arabs roughly break even.
|
The struggle to reach a majority is known as the
Demographic War. In the 1990's, Israel tried to break the pattern by
bringing over one million Russians. They were given immediate
citizenship by the racist Law of Return,* and caused a major shift in favor of what the Central Bureau of Statistics classifies as Jews.
Alas, the definition of Jew in the Law of Return
does not follow the definitions by ultra-Orthodox Jews. Many of the
Russians do not even hide their lack of Jewish roots.$ Over the years, this is turning into a serious problem.
Many Jews would not marry with Russians due to this issue. Government statements are worthless; the "leom" field&
in the internal passport is defined by the secular Ministry of Interior
and thus is not proof of being Jew, except in the eyes of Zionist civil
servants.
In the same way that the government exceeded its
roles while legislating the Law of Return, it is now attempting to
legislate a law defining the conversion to Judaism by secular standards.+
Bypassing Rabbinical Judaism
The easiest way for the State of Israel to solve
the new demographic war is by declaring the Russians to be Jews. The
only way to achieve that in an acceptable way is having rabbis to
declare that.
Only by passing a formal conversion this can be
achieved. Adult Russians will not accept the process which includes
circumcision for men, mikve-bath humiliations for women, and for both accepting to live according to the mitzvot, the orders on how a Jew must live specified in the Torah.
Russians living in Israel never renounced to
their Russian culture; they consider it better. Once I made the error of
inviting a fellow student, heir to Communist aristocracy from
Leningrad, to a plebeian hummus. "That's swine food," was the answer in a
tone that even a proletarian plebeian like I am could recognize as a
purposeful insult.$
Exemptions from the conversion lengthy course are
given only to little children. The most famous such case belongs to
Ariel Sharon, who was not Jew.
Ariel Sharon's father was Jewish. One of the
reasons for the maiden surname of his mother not being in the public
domain is that she was not Jewish, she was a Subbotnik, a Russian
Christian sect.
His parents arrived at Israel through the Third
Aliyah movement and settled in socialist Kfar Malal. Vera Scheinerman
became Dvora Sharon, and in 1928, Ariel was born. Born to a non-Jew, he
is a non-Jew.
|
What happened afterwards is the stuff legends are
made of. Dvora Sharon decided to convert according to the Halakha. She
accomplished that. Yet, Sharon was old enough to be asked questions by
the Ultra-Orthodox rabbis that converted his mother.
According to the Halakha, he was asked by the
rabbis if he wanted to be a Jew. "No!" young Sharon said and went out to
play with the dagger his father famously gave him as a birthday present
when the toddler reached the age of five.

"Grave Doubts Regarding the Jewishness of the Prime Minister Sharon"
Passover 2005 Headline of Ultra-Orthodox News' Good Hour Paul and the Jewish Law: Halakha in the Letters of the Apostle to the Gentiles (Compendia Rerum Iudaicarum Ad Novum Testamentum) 
|
Sharon never converted afterwards; thus he
remains a goy. In 2005, there was an attempt to remove him from the
Prime Minister office due to this embarrassing part of his past. Yet,
Israel does not recognize the Halakha, thus this attempt to throw out
the man that returned Gaza to the goyim failed. It was one of the
reasons for his odd burial; he is not buried with other Prime Ministers
in Mount Herzl, Jerusalem, but near Gaza (see Goy Sharon Killed Twice).
The new Zionist enterprise wants to reenact
Sharon's conversion with masses of Russian children, hoping that this
time the Russians would be wiser. In a Zionist course likely to be
forced before the rabbinical course, it will be taught: "It does not
matter what the rabbi asks, you answer 'ken,' that is what Middle
Easterners use instead of Russian 'da!' Forget 'niet,' you say 'da, da,
da!'"

Bypassing Secular Israel
Ignorant of a tiny detail, Zionists consider this
a good solution. After all, children converted in such a way are not
subject to fulfilling the mitzvot in order to be considered Jews. They become secular Jews by definition!
There are no precedents of mass conversions in such a way. Several rabbis have issued contradicting piskei Halakha, Halakha rulings.
Halakha is the Jewish religious law, a body of legislation parallel to Muslim Shar'ia. Its most comprehensive text is the "Shulchan Aruch
" published by Yosef Karo in 1563.
" published by Yosef Karo in 1563.
The name means "Set Table" and is the most
extensive Code of Jewish Law. It generally follows Sephardi traditions.
Shortly afterwards, Rabbi Moses Isserles published his notes to the "set
table," usually known as "mappah" (tablecloth). The combination is an
acceptable way of solving liturgical discrepancies among the bulk of
Jews, namely Sephardic and Ashkenazi.
Nowadays, Ultra-Orthodox parties oppose bringing civil actions to Israeli courts because they decide outcomes by applying Israeli law rather than Jewish-Halakha.
Rejecting the legal system equals rejecting the foundations of the
State of Israel, and thus discloses these parties intention of founding a
future Halakhic state, based on the Talmud and its Shulchan Aruch summary.
Whenever a new situation demanding a ruling
appears, prominent rabbis issue one, but they are not forced to agree
among themselves.
On this issue, Rabbi Spector rejects the validity
of the conversion. "It is better for the child to remain a kosher Goy
than an evil Jew" (in the sense that his Jewishness would be flawed), he
ruled. Rabbi Grodzhenski ruled "it is an honor to be a Jew, thus the
conversion withholds."
A child converted in such a way, even if he be
will force to study religion in school, will return to his Russian home
and instead of eating healthy hummus, will devour non-kosher swine,
Leningrad style.
Yet, all this is secondary. Since no consensus
was achieved in the rulings, the conversions will not be recognized by
Ultra-Orthodox Jews. None of them, even if recognizing specific rulings
accepting the conversion, will marry a Russian because their sons will
be not be eligible for marriage by the rest of their community.
|
The position of Religious Zionism is also
important here. This movement is the bastard breed of the unholy
alliance between Zionism and Ultra-Orthodox Jews. They form the bulk of
West Bank settlers, and are a key member in Netanyahu's current
coalition.
Without this alliance, the State of Israel could
not have been established; Zionism lacks the authority for that, it is
just the Messiah's Donkey.**
|
Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook is the historical leader
of this movement. His ruling was short and clear, "Conversion that is
not done in order to accept the weight of the Torah is not a conversion
at all." If the convert does not follow the mitzvot, his conversion does not count.
Zion being Zion, its leaders will probably ignore
common sense, the principles of law, and a few thousand years of
civilization and attempt to legislate yet another illegitimate law
enabling secular-religious conversions. After the violent events
surrounding the recent Conscription Law,
which forces Ultra-Orthodox men to conscript, Ultra-Orthodox
communities will be finally convinced that secular Zionists have decided
to obliterate the 19th Century pact. If the Messiah's Donkey** fails Judaism, it has no room in a Jewish society.
Soon afterwards, Palestinians will win the
Demographic War. "Spasiba bolshoi," Palestine's President will say to
Tel Aviv's Russian minority.
